EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Ishukubai, Heian period tale of the nightingale in the plum tree" created by artist Kitao Shigemasa in 1795 or 1796, we are transported back to ancient Japan. The scene depicts a royal official adorned in an elegant long robe, accompanied by three attendants. They stand before a modest building from which a beautiful plum tree emerges. The focus of their attention is a plainly dressed woman who stands outside the humble structure. It seems that the official may be making a demand - perhaps he wishes for the enchanting plum tree, known for its melodious nightingale song, to be relocated to the emperor's garden. This artwork captures both the beauty and tension present during Japan's Heian period. The contrast between the opulent attire of the royal official and his attendants against the simplicity of everyday life represented by the woman and her surroundings creates an intriguing visual narrative. Shigemasa's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to this woodcut print, enhancing our connection with this historical moment. As viewers, we are invited to imagine ourselves within this scene and ponder upon themes such as power dynamics and nature's influence on human desires. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance as it transports us into Japanese history.
